An Internal Cleanse - 3 Ways To Reinvigorate Yourself

As we get older, the amount of health concerns we have increases with our stress levels. You may find that your life is full of worry, duties, and piles of life admin on top of all of this.

Meditate

Everybody bangs on about meditation being a stress reliever, but there are many health benefits. It reduces blood pressure, leaves you with a sense of calm, but it's also great for a good night's sleep. The problem with meditation is that we cannot get to the point where we feel that we've switched off properly. There's always that internal chatter. The best option for us is to go and learn how to do it properly. There are various meditation courses around, but lots of people would benefit from an all-encompassing experience, such as a meditation retreat, or taking time out to pamper themselves, internally and externally. A technique called Ayurveda is something that's taught on many retreats, and you can learn more about this if you have the time to do so. But even if you feel that meditation isn't a suitable method, because you don't think it's working, just that opportunity to sit in peace and quiet and listen to your breath will have some positive effects.

Also remember, that cold is a good way for you to cleanse your body. This isn't particularly comfortable, but it's another way of building up resilience. It also works wonders for your skin and your hair!
